MBDSYS has an openwource implementation of a server compatible with
openwengo tunneling protocol

http://www.mbdsys.fr/opensource/htproxy/

hhtp headers are modified to specify the udp destination. we maybe could
give a try ? I guess this only could be used on the ekiga platform by few
people , but as the ekiga.net platform is hosted by 9T I guess bandwidth is
not a problem ?

As far as I understand this technique, it needs a relay server. I highly
doubt Ekiga can have the necessary ressource to setup such server.
Beside that, it seems they also workaround the TCP protocol using some
optimisation.

The real problem is NAT has no standard. This leads to this bad
situation as described here :
http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/
(I've not finished the reading yet, but this is very interesting to
understand the problem IMHO).
The good news is the IETF is working on this issue :
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/behave-charter.html
But this is still a draft :(

This will surely improve. But as now we are stuck...

Yannick
